325 Mason, EV Load Calculations

The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) is rewiring more than just transportation; it's also sparking a transformation in real estate infrastructure. As demand for EV charging surges, buildings need to adapt, from installing charging stations to recalculating weight loads to ensure that they are strong enough to carry their heavier EVs.

RPM took on a project at 325 Mason Street in San Francisco that is directly related to the accommodation of EVs. Faced with the question of whether their parking garage could handle EV weight loads, RPM meticulously analyzed floor loads, assessing its strength and suitability for accommodating various electric car models. Our comprehensive calc package provided the owner with the critical data needed to decide on renovations or potential limitations for different scenarios. This proactive approach to load calculations exemplifies the growing need for forward-thinking engineering in an EV-fueled future, ensuring buildings remain adaptable and attractive in the changing landscape of mobility.
